Bursting with ideas and influences, each of the ten songs
here can barely contain the excitement and imagination of the group.
Solos fly, harmonies swell, and tracks take complete left-turns in the
middle, with wonderful results. Opener Long Days Done starts off as a
piano boogie and ends with a surprise guest rap from guest PrufRock
Shadowrunner. Multi-part, dreamy harmonies drift through Before We
Arrive, as if Neil Young joined the Everly Brothers. Fuzzy psych-rock
drives I Don't Need A Gun, as raw and loud as any punk track, while
Early Or Late is straight doo-wop, right off the 50's street corner,
complete with she-bop-she-bop answering vocals. Simply put, is there
anything this band can't do? I want fifty copies to give to my
music-loving friends.
